We loved the location in a really nice neighborhood just a few minute walk to a beautiful beach (two flights of stairs down). The loft pullout couch had incredibly low ceilings though and did not fit well at all in the in the space. We also wish there were window coverings in the family room by the other pullout couch because it was difficult to sleep in that room. The queen bedroom bed was comfortable and the home was clean. For the price for a small group, it was worth it for the location.

Nice stay - but no king bed!
Great location and access to private beach (4 min walk). Kind and responsive host. My only complaint was the listing said there was a king bed... and there was only a queen bed.
